It is understood Hunt and his management met with Bulldogs boss Phil Gould on Friday as Canterbury ponder making an offer to the game’s form player when he hits the market on November 1.

I adore sentences that start with "it is understood". Not saying I'm against it happening but generally sentences that start that way means "we just made this up..."

LMAO at the "secret" meeting. Gus managed to have several secret meetings with Ciraldo without anyone knowing but somehow this secret meeting became public knowledge. Well played Gus. Putting public pressure on the Dragqueens

Either we get Hunt or Sullivan. I don't know if Sullivan will be ready for a premiership assault by 24 so we need a gun HB, either Hunt or Moses would be awesome

Can we afford him next year?
If we move TPJ and Thompson on or something like that, obviously Dragons would have to let him go and chip in tho

Sign him up.
Only problem is his age would be 34 when he comes here
34??? No way you would risk signing him at 34...so we signed him for 2 years and then what? Look for another half back? Seriously, we would be better of going after Mitchell moses who has another 4 good years in him. Bit the other issue is that we risk losing BBO and he could be our long term halfback.

So pay Moses 1.3m+ to have a chance in getting him. That's what Dragons did when they signed Ben Hunt. I would rather go all in for Munster but also not against Hunt for 2 years, 3 would be a bit long tho.

Give him 850K for 2 years. Get him to mentor BBO. Next year would be good. Have him 23/24. Then BBO 25. That would be ideal, though BBO may look elsewhere.

I reckon this is Don Gustavo forcing dragons to sign Hunt and releasing Sully to us.

I’d prefer we go for Walker, surely the Roosters can’t have 6 players on $900k-$1.1m in 2024… or can they??
